Attachment and Trauma Assessments

​ In addition to autism assessments, we also offer specialist assessments for children and young people where early experiences, relationships, or trauma may be impacting development.

​

Who This Is For

​

​These assessments are particularly relevant for children who are:

​

• Adopted

• Looked After by the local authority or in Kinship Care arrangements 

• Children experiencing relational, emotional, or behavioural difficulties

• Complex cases where trauma or attachment history may impact development or learning

We carefully consider how attachment, relationships, and neurodevelopment may interact.

​

Autism and Trauma

​

In some cases, autism and trauma can overlap or look similar.

​

We have extensive experience in assessing:

• Autism with complex trauma

• Differentiating between presentations

• Understanding when both may be present

​

What We Provide

​

• Comprehensive assessment

• Clear formulation (understanding of needs)

• Practical recommendations for support

• Guidance for families and professionals

​

Reports are suitable for school planning, social care, or therapeutic support and are tailored to each child’s unique context.

Assessments are held in Hythe, Kent, with flexible options for remote consultations when appropriate.
